  • Easy Facial Rigging and Animation Approaches
    Pedro Tavares Barata Bastos EASY FACIAL RIGGING AND ANIMATION APPROACHES A dissertation in Computer Graphics and Human-Computer Interaction Presented to the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Digital Media Supervisor: Prof. Verónica Costa Orvalho April 2015 ii This work is financially supported by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) via grant SFRH/BD/69878/2010, by Fundo Social Europeu (FSE), by Ministério da Educação e Ciência (MEC), by Programa Operacional Potencial Humano (POPH), by the European Union (EU) and partially by the UT Austin | Portugal program. Abstract Digital artists working in character production pipelines need optimized facial animation solutions to more easily create appealing character facial expressions for off-line and real- time applications (e.g. films and videogames). But the complexity of facial animation has grown exponentially since it first emerged during the production of Toy Story (Pixar, 1995), due to the increasing demand of audiences for better quality character facial animation. Over the last 15 to 20 years, companies and artists developed various character facial animation techniques in terms of deformation and control, which represent a fragmented state of the art in character facial rigging. Facial rigging is the act of planning and building the mechanical and control structures to animate a character's face. These structures are the articulations built by riggers and used by animators to bring life to a character. Due to the increasing demand of audiences for better quality facial animation in films and videogames, rigging faces became a complex field of expertise within character production pipelines.

  • 2D Animation Software You’Ll Ever Need
    The 5 Types of Animation – A Beginner’s Guide What Is This Guide About? The purpose of this guide is to, well, guide you through the intricacies of becoming an animator. This guide is not about leaning how to animate, but only to breakdown the five different types (or genres) of animation available to you, and what you’ll need to start animating. Best software, best schools, and more. Styles covered: 1. Traditional animation 2. 2D Vector based animation 3. 3D computer animation 4. Motion graphics 5. Stop motion I hope that reading this will push you to take the first step in pursuing your dream of making animation. No more excuses. All you need to know is right here. Traditional Animator (2D, Cel, Hand Drawn) Traditional animation, sometimes referred to as cel animation, is one of the older forms of animation, in it the animator draws every frame to create the animation sequence. Just like they used to do in the old days of Disney. If you’ve ever had one of those flip-books when you were a kid, you’ll know what I mean. Sequential drawings screened quickly one after another create the illusion of movement. “There’s always room out there for the hand-drawn image. I personally like the imperfection of hand drawing as opposed to the slick look of computer animation.”Matt Groening About Traditional Animation In traditional animation, animators will draw images on a transparent piece of paper fitted on a peg using a colored pencil, one frame at the time. Animators will usually do test animations with very rough characters to see how many frames they would need to draw for the action to be properly perceived.

  • Mental Ray Standalone for Autodesk Maya , Autodesk 3Ds Max And
    mental ray® Standalone For Autodesk® Maya®, Autodesk® 3ds Max® and Autodesk® Softimage® Software Frequently Asked Questions 1. What is mental ray Standalone? mental ray® Standalone is an offline rendering product. It works independently of Autodesk® Maya® software, Autodesk® 3ds Max® software, and Autodesk® Softimage® software through a command-line interface, or acts as the foundation of distributed rendering solution when used with Maya, 3ds Max or Softimage. mental ray Standalone is used primarily when additional rendering capabilities are required beyond the built-in mental ray capabilities of certain other Autodesk applications. mental ray is typically used in an internal render farm setup and can be used to supplement and accelerate interactive rendering (for example, Maya software’s interactive photorealistic rendering). 2. What is the latest version of mental ray Standalone available? mental ray Standalone 3.7.53 (3.7.5x) for Maya 2010. mental ray Standalone 3.7+ for 3ds Max 2010 and Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design 2010. mental ray Standalone 3.7.55 (3.7.5x) for Softimage 2010. For mental ray compatibility with earlier versions of Autodesk products please see the compatibility table. 3. Will the mental ray Standalone that I use with Autodesk Maya work with Autodesk 3ds Max or Autodesk Softimage? No. mental ray Standalone for Maya is not compatible with 3ds Max software or with Softimage software. Separate versions of mental ray Standalone exist: one for Maya, one for 3ds Max and one for Softimage. For more information on mental ray compatibility with other Autodesk applications, consult the compatibility table. 4. Why are there different versions of mental ray Standalone? Each version contains the appropriate installer, licensing, and most importantly the shader libraries associated with the software in use.
